The use and management of fisheries resources must be accompanied by maintaining and maintaining their sustainability, so that they can be used continuously or sustainably. For this reason, it is necessary to anticipate monitoring activities carried out around the area, so that they do not disturb the sustainability of fisheries resources. Supervision activities are carried out by fisheries supervisory officers who have been appointed by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries to protect fisheries resources in Indonesia. And also the Directorate General of Marine Resources and Fisheries Control is also carrying out increased supervision by coordinating and collaborating with security forces and law enforcement at sea. However, considering the vast area of waters in Indonesia and also the limited facilities and infrastructure as well as the number of supervisory personnel are still the main obstacles in achieving optimal monitoring performance.To overcome this problem, there is a need for community involvement in carrying out monitoring activities to protect and preserve fisheries resources in their respective areas. The potential for supervisory resources in the community is quite large in assisting supervision and has also become a cultural custom in each region. We realize that traditional community involvement is a formula that needs to be developed, especially in the context of monitoring and managing fisheries resources. Therefore, community participation in implementing supervision in the field is highly expected.
